With today's bike ride, I finally feel like I have transitioned home. I am not overdoing anything and that seems just fine, because I will be super busy, super soon. I am looking at the week, in terms of what it teaches me. My first lesson was to be forgiving to myself. I tend to beat myself up when I don't do everything I set out to do. Today I was trying out my 1-3-5 list.
One is the big task - takes a few hours.
Three are medium tasks - each tales about an hour.
Finally there are five small tasks to write down, each taking about 15-30 minutes.
Today my "big" task was to work on Lydia's art work and I couldn't do it. I don't want to throw them away and have no idea how long it might take. So I wussed out.
And in the process, broke down sobbing.
But I now give my permission for not completing everything. Today was the first day of creating a sponge list:
Ask yourself the following question, to determine what you want to absorb this week:
1. What do you want to feel this week?
2. What do you want to learn?
3. What do you want to unlearn?
I want to...
feel compassion
learn how to be less judgemental
unlearn my guilt
